Ingredients

Base

  • 1 slice whole grain or sourdough bread (toasted)
  • ⅓ cup cottage cheese

Savory Toppings (choose as desired)

  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons chili crisp
  • 1 teaspoon hot honey
  • 2 slices lox-style smoked salmon
  • Thinly sliced cucumber
  • Capers
  • Sliced roma tomato
  • Balsamic glaze
  • Torn fresh basil
  • Pinch flaky salt (such as Maldon or fleur de sel)

Sweet Toppings (choose as desired)

  • 6 slices banana
  • 1 tablespoon drippy peanut butter
  • Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
  • Thinly sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons fig spread
  • 1 teaspoon hot honey (or more to taste)
  • Chopped roasted pistachios
  • Flaky salt (such as Maldon or fleur de sel)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting one slice of whole grain or sourdough bread until golden and crisp to your liking. This will provide a sturdy base for the toppings and add a pleasant crunch.
  2. Spread Cottage Cheese: Once toasted, evenly spread about ⅓ cup of creamy cottage cheese over the top of the bread. This adds protein and a smooth texture that pairs well with both savory and sweet flavors.
  3. Add Your Toppings: Customize your toast by adding toppings of your choice from the savory or sweet options provided. For a savory profile, use toppings like everything bagel seasoning, smoked salmon, sliced cucumber, capers, tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. For a sweeter variation, try sliced banana, peanut butter, cinnamon, raspberry jam, almonds, fig spread, roasted pistachios, and a touch of hot honey. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky salt to enhance flavors. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Use freshly toasted bread for maximum crunch and to prevent sogginess from the cottage cheese.
  • Feel free to mix and match toppings to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative.
  • Adding a pinch of flaky salt enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • This recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, taking only about 5 minutes to prepare.
